PIXIE – 15906

Pixie

Hello, my name is Pixie. My animal id is #15906. I am a female tan dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 2 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 11-Dec-2017.

Pixie is at risk for medical reasons, having been diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. We suggest that Pixie would be best suited to an adult only home.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A volunteer writes: She really can make faces and photographing her can be a challenge to try to get a shot showing a more girly side. Pixie is tiny like a fairy, really cute and petite. Who would not love her underbite? As i needed to know her better, I took her out a few times. Initially timid, she opened up to the point that she hopped on her own on the bench next to me, cuddled with me and even kissed me. Pixie just needs you to let her do things at a slow pace, at her pace. She has no handling issues, got outfitted with coats, silly tiaras and neck pieces without a whisper. Pixie was cool with it all. Pixie pulls on the leash, does her business as soon as she is out in the street. She is interested in other dogs and does quite well in playgroups with her peers. We were told that she is not a fan of cats. She loves treats and will sit readily for them. She will run briefly after a ball. I guess Pixie and I need a little bit more time together to discover her other talents. Lovely Pixie is at the Manhattan Care Center waiting to start her life again with you, for ever this time…

Details on my behavior are…

Behavior Condition: 1. Green

Upon intake, Pixie was whining and would pull on the leash very hard to try and walk towards the back of the center where she heard other dogs barking. When I approached pixie to grab the leash from the finder, Pixie was wagging her tail upright and would sniff me. Pixie allowed me to pet her and struggled to go into the kennel.

What a sight for sore eyes! If she isn’t the cutest thing I’ve seen all day, then I don’t know what is. I agree Janet, she’d be receiving kisses ALL the time from me. ♥️

This little girl LOVES her treats! Look at her chomp away, crumbs and all. I appreciate dogs (and people) who EAT, with a HEARTY appetite. She looks like she’s had too much Thanksgiving turkey, because afterwards she nearly falls asleep on the bench!! Of course she also appears to be milking that great massage for all it’s worth, giving puppy dog eyes that say ‘please don’t stop’… maybe that is putting her to sleep. She definitely enjoys the human touch. “Pixie engages in bouncy play. She vocalizes as play intensifies.” One of my dogs does this and it’s the best. The underbite picture is endearing. Pixie = cute, but I’m sure there is much more to this girl than her skin deep beauty.

What a sassy little lady! She’s simply adorable! I love that she’s not overly pretty, makes her unique! And that face….who would not want to cuddle and kiss it everyday?!? Miss Pixie is awesome and must be saved! Stupid NYCACC getting her sick – she should not be fighting for her life tonight, she should be playing with her new family! Let’s get her out! Praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SavePixie 🐾💕🙏🏻

Absolutely no reason for this dog to have gotten kennel cough. She didn’t have when she came it. The shelter dies a very poor job of en forcing prevention guidelines. This is inexcusable. Every day you kill dogs with kennel cough. Treat the dogs, CLEAN THE KENNELS, wear gloves. You sentence these dogs to death because of how you handle them. I’m sorry, just no excuse.

I have shared the kennel cough TBD kill list publicly, stating as such, and on any site that had pic of a dog. Hopefully, heroes step up for 12 dogs who have been failed by a shelter calling themselves a care center.
